Former Channel Ten TV presenter ‘missing, police declare home a crime scene’

A former Channel Ten TV presenter and his partner are missing, with police reportedly declaring their home a crime scene after “a large amount of blood” was found in the house.

A desperate search is understood to be underway for Jesse Baird and his Qantas flight attendant boyfriend Luke Davies who have disappeared from their Brown Street residence in the Sydney suburb of Paddington.

Mr Baird is a former red carpet reporter, who has also worked on children’s TV show Totally Wild and Studio 10. He has not been seen since Monday night and Davies’ family reported him missing on Tuesday.

Police say they are treating Mr Davies’ disappearance as suspicious after his possessions were found in a skip bin on Wilbar Avenue in Cronulla about 11am on Wednesday.

Two hours later, Mr Baird’s terrace home — nearly 30km away from the Cronulla site — was declared a crime scene after officers found.

Mr Davies was unable to be located at his home in nearby Waterloo.

Police believe the 29-year-old was in Paddington on Monday.

“He has not been seen since, his family have been unable to contact him and he has not been at work,” NSW Police said in a statement on Thursday.

“Both the missing person registry and the homicide squad are assisting that missing persons case,” Assistant Commissioner Michael Fitzgerald said.

“In regards to that missing person, we have grave concerns for his safety.”

Mr Davies is described as being of Caucasian appearance, 170cm-175cm tall with a medium build, brown hair and brown eyes.

It is not known what he was wearing at the time of his disappearance.

Photos from both men’s social media accounts show them together at a Pink concert in Sydney during the previous week.

One snap of the pair taken at the lighthouse at Palm Beach earlier in February reads: “Perfect start to a long weekend”.
